Implementing MR-based interaction techniques for manipulating 2D visualizations in 3D information space

A 3D information space is a three-dimensional visualization that contains 2D visualizations and puts them in a semantic context. In this paper, we sketch how mixed reality (MR) can be exploited as a technology in order to realize better interaction in a 3D information space and, as a result, to develop new interactive visualization techniques. Here, the real space is used as a metaphor for interacting with the 3D information space.
